And another guest wrote: "an incredible, beautiful, historic chateau that dates back to the 17th century. The moment we rolled through the gates of the chateau, we knew we'd made an outstanding choice in terms of accommodation - this place surpassed all of our expectations. Not only was it in one of the most lush and beautiful regions of central France, but it was gorgeously furnished, decadent in it's size, incredibly well maintained and amazingly well equipped."

Owner Profile

I am a social entrepreneur and restauranteur.

I have spent the past 6 years running our chateau as a holiday rental. We have had hundreds of very happy guests and have met a lot of wonderful people. The best thing about it is seeing guests arrive and their reactions to the stunning setting and wonderful house. Many have said it is so much more beautiful in real life than in the photos, even though the photos are fantastic.

In the past six years, I have also dedicated a lot of my time to the development of Eco Chateau, a permaculture and ecological housing development on the chateau property. We hope to start this later this year. Every booking we get will help us to achieve our goal.

I also own Chantek, a small Thai & Southeast Asian restaurant in Cornwall, and I spend some of my time there helping to run it.

We look forward to meeting you here at the chateau and to helping to make your holiday the best ever!

Region

The pace of life in the Dordogne is languid, laid back and positively infectious. Relax in bucolic beauty as you drift along the Dordogne River, or wander among the forests and hillside of the Périgord Natural Park.

The foodie scene too, is a relaxed affair. Take your time over your lazy lunches of local duck, black truffles and goats cheese. If you’re feeling energetic, you can even hunt for them yourself. The wine here is second to none, with infamous grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chenin Blanc all having a huge presence here.

The Dordogne is also brimming with history. Castles and chateaux are scattered throughout the region, among the enchanting medieval villages. History of an altogether more ancient sort can also be explored in the incredible prehistoric cave drawings of Lascaux and Grotte de Rouffignac.

Reviews

Charming and Beautiful

Created on 05/07/2016

Totally unspoilt, charming and beautiful. A fantastic place for families and friends to be together. It is rustic a perfect escape. Our host was a source of excellent information too. Amazing local produce and places to eat nearby. We would go back.

Magical, Rustic Farmhouse

Posted by Richard and Alexa
on 30/05/2016

We decided to get married in France and Chateau de Camiller provided a beautiful and natural setting for the wedding. Ruth was very helpful and generous and kindly had great recommendations for restaurants, markets or good places to visit. There is wifi in the main house on the ground floor which was invaluable, and the kitchen has lots of crockery, cutlery, and pots/pans. The Chateau is rustic but that is one of the reasons we chose it. The bedrooms were spacious and homely, and the beds comfortable. We had fresh bedding and towels too. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the venue with it's rural charm, stunning views and great host. The surrounding area is gorgeous. Woodlands, a gorge with a castle in it and Argentat nearby which a charming sleepy town with the Dordogne running through it. We would definitely recommend Ruth and the Chateau, and hope to go back again soon.
